Eastern Woes & Board of Governors Preview

The DFO Rundown

Frank joined the podcast live from Seattle as he is out west for the upcoming Board of Governors meeting. He gave us a preview of what is expected to be covered at this years meeting today on the podcast. One topic that will come up: expansion. Frank had some insight into that.

Other items include mandating cut-proof gear, the Coyotes off-ice issues, and an update on the salary cap.

Before they got into that, they covered a handful of other topics from around the league, starting with a handful of struggling teams in the Eastern Conference.

Things are not going well for the New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, and Tampa Bay Lightning. Which fan bases should be legitimately concerned and which ones are just going through a little mid-season blip? Frank and Jason gave their thoughts on that.

They also talked about the surprising run by the Arizona Coyotes and whether or not they’re a legitimate playoff contender. They also hit on Anze Kopitar’s incredible season before bringing in Tyler for a new edition of Buy or Sell.

Will there be a coaching change this month? Will Tyson Barrie get traded before the roster freeze? Will the San Jose Sharks finish last in the league? Tyler got the guys' opinions on those big questions.
